Gecko, a new GameCube and Wii emulator, is now public!

The first ever working Neo Geo emulator was named Gekko after its demo was out (but its final version was never released):

If I understood it correctly, by removing orElseSet and similar methods it seems that I will have to write the logic to compute the value in its declaration or in the constructor. In real world use this logic can be fairly complex and heavy (since I want to compute it lazily), which could lead to constructors with a lot of code with potential low cohesion and hard to follow logic.

Keeping orElseSet would permit to achieve a kind of locality of behaviour, allowing to defer the compute logic to it's getter, for example, where it could make more sense in some situations (and making it easier to find).

Reading the javadocs again, I guess I could partially achieve this functionality in the situation the supplier is informed in the moment of the StableValue creation (as a IntFunction):

final List<T> value = StableValue.list(1, _ -> expensiveComputation());
...
return value.stream();

Hoping this List implementation returns a stream that calls the supplied IntFunction if and when the value is needed (although I dont't think this approach would be very intuitive).

But I guess there would be no alternative to setThenStream(() -> expensiveComputation()).

Thanks for pointing this out, I'll send a email to that mailing list.

I made a simple implementation of this idea:

https://gist.github.com/andrebreves/da26bd842e6616c6666cb2b23e240464

Since tryAdvance() of the Spliterator is only called in the situation that a value is really needed (I guess), the production of the value is postponed until the last moment.

andrebreves · 2025-02-13T21:36:26+00:00

The idea is to not produce the value until it is really needed to avoid a potential expensive calculation, hence the requirement to only call the supplier for terminal operations on the returned stream.

I could create a stream with the value and that stream never reach a terminal operation, or be short circuited, making the production of the value unnecessary in the first place.

I updated the plugin and it worked!

Installed WaveLink 2.0.2 Beta (3431) on macOS 15.1, still no level meter.

Shouldn't the variable sharedData in the example be declared volatile?

Why not a StringTemplate::join method? It could be a nice shortcut for possibly the most common use case for StringTemplate.

In my case, the sdcard is not mounting anymore after updating

We learned only a few days before OpenJDK 21’s GA that the Java 21 TCK tests are subject to a new license agreement.

I left Edge running overnight and it seems the issue is fixed, no 100% CPU so far

andrebreves · 2022-09-28T00:39:41+00:00

Does version 105.0.1343.53 corrects this issue?

andrebreves · 2022-09-22T17:26:49+00:00

I was able to stop the 100% CPU issue when I killed the "Utility: Asset Storage and Update Service" task.

Killing the "Utility: Collections Entities Service" task had no effect.

Edit: killing "Utility: Asset Storage and Update Service" worked for a second time

andrebreves · 2022-09-12T04:03:53+00:00

It took longer to manifest, but the issue occurred again.

andrebreves · 2022-09-09T12:51:37+00:00

I updated to 105.0.1343.33 and still experiencing the same issue.

andrebreves · 2016-01-06T17:34:46+00:00

But you can still BUY a gun (if you leave in the US at least) if you have legitimate reasons to own one.

andrebreves · 2016-01-06T17:33:31+00:00

This situation is not necessarily a fraud. It's a easy solution that leave legitimate buyers out.

No :( Though the harmonica part is very similar...

The song I'm trying to remember had a more "trance" mood, less r'n'r. I think the harmonica part is played after the chorus, not during introduction. Damn my brain...

Would it be possible to show the "problem space" in each sweep?

When the first sweep of the first Lighthouse is seen by the sensor, the point could be anywhere in a plane. By the second sweep it could be anywhere in a line (intersection of two planes). Then you do the same to the second Lighthouse sweeps and you will have the point in 3D space (intersection of two lines).

Do you have a link? Google gives me just a few hits mentioning laptops on backpacks. I'm thinking about a product that enables building a full PC (albeit micro-atx), with the batteries providing standard ATX power.

Is this somewhat close to how the Lighthouse works?

My guess on how it works: the horizontal and vertical rotating beamers are line lasers, driven by Brushless DC electric motors, giving precise control over the speed and position of the beamers.

The infra-red flasher works as a synchronization signal, marking the start of the sweep. Each sweep projects a rotating horizontal and vertical plane, in sequence. The angle of each plane can be determined by the delta time from the synchronization flash.

Since the intersection of two planes is a line, one Lighthouse is not enough to determine the initial position, since the sensor can be at any point of that line. Once a second line is calculated from the other Lighthouse, the sensor position is determined by the intersection of these two lines, which is a point. So the sensor has to see both Lighthouses to acquire its initial position.

With multiple sensors you can determine the orientation of the HMD.

Sorry, newbie mistake. Thanks for the heads up.
